re: Kerin Frame's stength.
For what it's worth I crashed my Vivalo (not the most reputed Keirin builder) twice last summer. Once into a car that cut across the road and stopped in front of me, and the other time I was side swiped x hit and run resulting in broken elbow and being off the bike until last week.
Both times the frame suffered no damage, nothing. I had it checked by two seperate LBS both times and neither could find anything wrong with the frame. I had one of those protector dealies, and I honestly think it absorbed potential TT denting impact both times.
I don't know what you plan on getting into but short of riding full clip directly into an on coming car you shouldn't have to worry about the frame being strong enough for whatever you throw at it.
